Here are two ways to use technology as a means of summarizing the content you have read.
Why Summarize?
1. These highlighted main ideas can be printed off for a study sheet.
2. These sheets can be read prior to class so that what the teacher says, makes more sence.
3. This is a memory aid. This will help the information stick!


You have two choices.
If you scan in your book...

»Highlight it yourself and extract the notes.
